Scarpa Men's Instinct VS Climbing

Highly recommend this retailer, great shoes , excellent customer, would buy from them again ! 👍

Fits like a glove.

ジムも外岩も、どこに行っても頼りになるシューズです！ 課題によって2、3足使い分けている方もよく見かけますが、それであればこのVSRをジムと外で1足づつ欲しいぐらい気に入ってます！！

Nothing to complain about these shoes, they are just perfect, so much confortable and with a perfect sole (vibram never disappoints), about the size, I have wide foot, Id have pick 0.5 size bigger to fit better. At the first moment its very tight, but around 10 uses it fits softens.

These are my real first pair of climbing shoes. The first pair of climbing shoes I got were no match for my wide feet, and I ripped the top off on the first day using them. I had done some research, and decided the SCARPA Instinct VS would be a much better fit. I'll review the 3 points I consider most important: fit, design, and durability. FIT: Every one of my friends that have claimed to have "hobbit feet" have been put to shame by my monster feet. They're not particularly large, just quite (un?)naturally wide. Had to push the heel flat and push/wiggle the front of my foot to get it in. Once in, there was no space but my toes were nicely lined up and just slightly curled. Pulled the heel over and my feet were hermetically sealed into the shoe, for a snug, performance fit. Took me 3-4 solid outings to break the shoes in, and they still fit snug but bearable compared with the first few times. I LOVE the SCARPA toe box on these. DESIGN: The shoe is a work of art. The rubber is simply awesome, and the precision of the shoe is out of this world. The heel is sticky, very sensitive, and in my case, zero space. They can be worn loose to warm up with confidence thanks to the Bi-Tension rand. One tightening of the super-sticky velcro strap and your feet turn into mountain goat hooves for serious business. As a bonus, the shoe looks totally sweet. DURABILITY: Have only had them about two months, and climbing outdoors nearly every day with them and they still look just like new, except broken in. Rubber is still great. Shoes don't even smell yet (make sure you have clean feet and wear socks on the approach, and air out your feet before and after putting the Instinct VS on). Will update this as time goes on. Verdict: I've worn a dozen or so climbing shoes of many brands and owned only one other pair before. The SCARPA Instinct VS are superior in every aspect to all the others I've tried (Solutions, Anasazis, Katanas, Tarantulaces, Miuras, Shamans, etc.). I highly recommend this shoe.
